Diane,
When we launched the National Democratic Redistricting Committee with the support of President Obama in 2017, it was because American voices were being silenced by a problem that had flown under the radar for far too long: Republican gerrymandering that manipulates voting districts and creates an unfair political playing field.
President Obama and I are making this fight one of our top priorities because our democracy and the civil rights of every American are under siege. We are taking on this structural reform because it's vital to the long-term health of our democracy and can be the key that unlocks progress on so many issues we all care about.
I deeply appreciate your support of All On The Line. Today I'm asking you to join the NDRC and double down on your fight against gerrymandering.
We need your help to fully execute our multi-pronged strategy, which includes directly supporting candidates who will fight for fair maps in office, reacting to legal decisions, passing redistricting ballot initiatives, and building a nationwide grassroots movement. Will you add your name to join the NDRC today? Since we launched in 2017, the NDRC has made an enormous impact in the battle against gerrymandering. Between 2017 and 2019, we helped win governor's races in ten states, flip eight state legislative chambers from red to blue, and break Republican supermajorities in four more. Five states have adopted reforms to make the redistricting process more fair.
We've adjusted our strategy after key judicial rulings, including Supreme Court rulings in Gill v. Whitford and Rucho v. Common Cause. And we've gotten every major Democratic presidential candidate to sign our Fair Districts Pledge.
But with one year left until 2021 redistricting, we're entering a critical phase of our work. What happens this year will determine whether all Americans have access to fair elections, or whether we get stuck with manipulated maps for another decade. And Republicans aren't sitting idly by while we fight for fairness -- Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Scott Walker, and other GOP heavyweights are doing everything they can to lock in gerrymandered majorities for the next decade.
So we need you with us, Diane. The work we're doing right now is crucial to the future of our democracy and every issue we care about.
Will you add your name to join the NDRC in our fight for fair maps and fair elections?
Thank you,
Eric H. Holder, Jr.
